Palia

This game is literal trash, the way of the common cash grab was not the way to go devs. You all lied to us, and said you wouldn't do this, but did it anyway. What a joke.

Normally I would have recommended this game to all of my friends, and have gotten several in here already - but with the new update that adds the ability to purchase storage space I can no longer do so in good faith. Yes, I have purchased bundles, and yes, I have paid for some currency for cosmetics. Cosmetics are fine - but adding pay-to-win mechanics breaks the original promise made by the devs, on top of the cosmetics already being absurdly expensive, and as such I can no longer support giving money to this game. I will continue playing Palia, but until cash shop things are resolved, you will not get another cent from me. Do better.

The microtransactions were always ridiculously priced ($30+ for an outfit, really?) But the recent update has really shown the company's true intentions. How many years has this game been considered "beta" with how empty most of the maps feel? On top of spending over $30 for outfits, COLORS (yes, some colors to customize items must be purchased), makeup and now storage? I have spent money in the early days because I sunk so many hours in on Switch, but this game isn't worth paying more than $5 for microtransactions.

since the ranching upgrade Palia sadly went full on cashgrab. the game has a very slow progression of content but its a lovely cozy grind game. (sadly not much content) - even if there a LOT of bugs sadly since the ranching update they went full on cashgrab with riding and breeding licenses for mounts, pet licenses for all the other animals and now they are even selling storage place (something thats very scarce and is actually gamebreaking) beside that, the prices are insanely high especially for the cosmetic skins but thats just a sidenote Singularity clearly broke they promise by not making this game pay to play or pay to win - because now, its both. so sadly i have to uninstall it and stop playing

Liked the game quite a alot, been playing it on and off for some time now but with the introduction of premium storage and stuff like "servers/lobbys" you can rent where you are able to build in the overworld i cant recommend this game anymore. Keep in mind that with the premium storage you get 100k Slots instead of a maximum of 18k Slots (for 100 bucks).

Games evolving backwards and S6 are now completely ignoring the fact they said no gameplay would be locked behind a paywall. Players have been asking for more storage, so what do S6 do? Paid Storage for £5 PER UPGRADE???? Beyond this the amount of bugs with the game has increased with every update and S6 refuse to give any sort of response as to what is being worked on. I also submitted a bug report over a YEAR AGO and the bug still has not been fixed despite being told it would be. Do not financially support this game

I started playing Palia when open Beta launched so my hours are a lot more than what's shown on Steam and I truly love this game BUT the developers have broken their promise to it's very loyal player base. They promised they would never monetise gameplay. Sadly with the latest update players now need to pay real money for extra storage. It's a BIG deal and a very slippery slope no matter how they try to spin it. I REALLY hope there is a turn around so I can change this review in the near future but with the state of the game and gaming in general, I am not very optimistic.
